Geauga County Public Library to Host Common Ground: The Route 44 Divide

It is often said that Rt. 44 divides Geauga County and individuals who live on each side of the divide want something different from their community than the individuals on the other side.

Join us at our Administrative Center, 12701 Ravenwood Drive, Chardon, on Sunday, June 30th from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., as we use personal storytelling to build community and find Common Ground. Refreshments provided. Individuals will reflect and share:

What brought them to Geauga County

How they currently interact with Geauga County and the environment here

How they would like to interact with the community and environment moving forward

Common Ground, an initiative of the Cleveland Foundation serving Cuyahoga, Geauga, and Lake Counties, brings communities together to discuss the impact of how our surroundings shape who we are as individuals.
